Relevance vs. Current Indian Software Industry
The Indian IT services industry is currently navigating a period of muted revenue growth, projected at 2-3% in USD terms for FY2026 due to global uncertainties, such as potential US tariffs. In contrast, Zensar has recently outpaced the broader sector; for example, its constant currency growth of 12.5% in FY2024 significantly exceeded the industry average of 8-9%.
The company is strategically managing sectoral headwinds, particularly in the Telecommunication, Media and Technology (TMT) vertical, which saw a sharp 9.9% decline in Q2FY26 as tech customers reallocated spending toward data centers and GPUs. Conversely, Zensar finds strong relevance in high-growth areas.
Future Outlook
While navigating near-term pressures like seasonal furloughs and margin compression from AI-driven automation, Zensar remains cautiously optimistic. Its strategy focuses on scaling AI talent having already trained 5,000+ employees in GenAI and targeting acquisitions in the Customer Experience and Data & AI spaces to solidify its position as a “digital first” partner for global enterprises.
